I know that this Aunt Zhang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she doesn't even plan to rest for my grandmother's first seven days!

I really don't know how my dad endured it for so many years, and I didn't want to hear her lion roar anymore, so I stepped out a few steps and asked my dad softly, "Dad, did you take out this cane?" ”

He held the burning-out cigarette butt between his fingers, and his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if trying to remember. "I can't remember, this is your grandmother's peachwood cane, right?"

I nodded, but I didn't expect Aunt Zhang to step in front of me in two steps, snatch the cane, and take a closer look at it in her hand. "Yo, I can't see that your old official still has such a thing, I think this workmanship should be an antique, right?"

I reached for it, and she was quite fast, and flashed over.

"This is your grandmother's thing, that is, our family's thing, I don't believe that this cane also has your official Xiaoxian's name written on it to inherit? I'll see what's going on? ”

It was my grandmother's relic, and when I saw her holding it in my hand, I felt really uncomfortable, and I was about to grab it, but my dad stood up and pulled me, and his eyes signaled to me, let her go!

Now I can only watch Aunt Zhang go out with a cane, I dare to pack the ticket, she must take it to the pawnshop in the town to ask, can it be used as a few dollars!

As soon as the door closed, I helplessly asked my father, "Is Aunt Zhang gambling again?" ”

My dad went into the city to work hard when he was a teenager, he was willing to endure hardships in those years, plus his luck was good, he earned a little money, bought two houses and shops in the city, ran a supermarket, and lived a very nourishing life, but then married this aunt, nine years younger than my dad, just forty this year, she likes to play cards, at first it was a small gamble, and then the more gambling the more scoreless, a house was lost, for this matter my dad divorced her, and her mother's family organized a group to our supermarket to make trouble.

Alas, my father also misses the old love, and the marriage is not divorced, so she only promises not to play cards again in the future!

The first two years were fine, but then I went home a few times and saw her playing cards with her mother-in-law in the community, and my dad said it was useless, too lazy to care!

Today, seeing that she is so interested in the house in her hometown, and snatched my grandmother's cane, she must be short of money to play cards, right? There are several teahouses playing cards in this town, how can she survive these days with her temperament!

"As soon as this person is obsessed with playing cards, the Lord of Hades can't pull it back, how can he not play?" My dad was so angry that he could only smoke another cigarette and light it.

"Dad, do you love her?"

He probably didn't expect me to ask him so bluntly, raised his head and swept my cheeks, buried his head again, and said helplessly: "Our official family is thin, otherwise how could I have followed your grandmother's surname?" If it weren't for your grandmother to protect me, I would have gone down with your mother a long time ago, how do you think Aunt Zhang could be okay with me for so many years? Your grandmother said that she is a rare lonely evil star, but she has no children and grandchildren, and I am so old, but I just want to have a companion when I am old! ”

The so-called lonely evil star, that is, this person is hard, evil, even the little ghost and the little demon can't get close, these grandmothers have also told me, but I always thought that my dad didn't believe in this, and now it sounds like this, it's not like that.

"What happened back then? Did my mother really die in childbirth because she gave birth to me? ”

He exhaled his cigarette vigorously, sighed, and didn't answer me.

Actually, I know, it must be so.

I sat down next to him, supported my chin with my hand, and after a long time, I said, "Dad, something strange happened after you called me that night." ”

My dad was smoking a cigarette and looking at the fence of my house.

"When you come back, grandma she ......"

"Xiaoxian, no matter what you see, hide it in your heart, this world is very big, and there are many forces that we can't explain, but I just hope that you will be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life in the future."

Just listening to what my dad said, I probably guessed why he left his hometown to take root in the city when he was a teenager, he wanted to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life.

The two of us were silent for a long time, I remembered the way the daughter-in-law of the Wang family begged me today, and I asked suspiciously: "Why did the daughter-in-law of the Wang family let me save her Xiaobei today?" ”

When my dad heard this, he angrily threw the cigarette butt on the ground.
